Hov(head of village) W(women) M(men)

Hov:Look you all... I don't know where you all came from... But I'm sure you alll don't know the rule of our village... And as for now I can't trust this Narayan to inform you anything...

Gaining the attention he needed from the addressed people  , he continued.

Hov:In our village, it is bad omen to leave the Mandap without binding a couple in pure bond of marriage... It will make our goddess curse us for making fun of the sacred occasion... So we order you  both to marry in this mandap.. Now..

All the other people again voiced out their agreement more aggressively. While Sashi and Buaji gasped at the situation, Khushi and Arnav looked at each other for the second time. And Arnav didn't take even second to recognise her eyes.

But the situation dawned upon them when people started to circle the outsiders while pushing Narayan out like a old cloth.

Nonsense I don't believe in these things...

Hov:We don't care about your beliefs Boy... This wedding will happen..

Seeing the arrogance and determination in their voice Arnav's Anger rose while Khushi tried to remain calm.

When everyone had circled aroung them and caged them, she rushed to Sashi and Hugged him.

But after few minutes, Sashi pushed her away with rage filled in his eyes.

Sa:because of you I had to face this... Chi... I'm ashamed to call you as my daughter... I disown you at this very moment.

Buaji gasped while Khushi palmed her face while kneeling down.
Bu:Sashi what are you-

But before Buaji could comprehend anything Sashi dragged him out of the Hall . Out of the scene.

W:This is what happens when you disappoint our goddess... Yee girl wear this chunri and be ready to marry him..

Oh shut up... Hey you.. Calm down.. I will get us.. I will get you and me out of this okay-

He said, in his abnormally low tone, to his own surprise.
Before he could tap the screen of his phone, a man snatched it and threw it away.

Arnav, was all ready to throw his hands on that I'll mannered man, but Khushi held his shoulder. He turned to her and shrunk his eyes on seeing her wearing the chunri and her next sentence made his eyes widened.

I'm ready for this marriage...

What the fuck?.. Hell Are we going to get married?... Stop this drama-

And before he could even vent out his anger 4-5 men pulled the great ASR to the stage and Khushi sat beside him. All the calmness on her face was itching his anger level even more.

Soon the pandit started his chantings while Khushi held his palm tighter.

You got the chance and weren't willing to miss it huh? He whispered to her. She just gave a glance to him while having all the attention on the sacred fire lit in front of them.

After a while, when she saw her chance she held his palm in hers holding it tight.

What the hell?

Do you know how to run?

Huh?

And before he could understand anything, a small commotion happened between Khushi and pandit and the fire bloomed like a flower. All thanks to the oil glass she spilt it on the havan.

Everyone gasped and tried to protect themselves while she successfully pulled Arnav to stand on his legs and lead both of them to the exit.

W:Arre someone bring water.... Where are the bride and groom..... God...

M:Heyy... Everyone.. They are running away.... Look..

And soon few men, with lot of difficulty, made their way out of the smoke and ran towards the exit.

Arnav's legs weren't in his control anymore. All he could gaze was at the girl, who was crying few minutes ago but now there were no trace of any tears. Hell she had a spirit in her eyes. Spirit to face everything.

He didn't realise when they stopped near a bike..

Sit.

Huh?

Sit Mister we have no times for huhs

But.. You... Bike... Your lehenga..

M:look they are there.... COME..

Look just sit and trust me... Rather than being worried about my bloody lehenga.

Her tone filled with urgency and the mob nearing them left him with no choice.

He sat and soon she started the bike.

M:HEY YOU BOTH... STOP...

Soon the bike caught it's speed and the villagers voice distanced from his ears.

Khushi rode the bike towards high way.
Here Arnav was just gazing at her image in the mirror. She looked... Something he couldn't describe yet couldn't just take off his eyes from the mirror.

What the hell ASR?.. His mind screamed bringing him out of the trance.

Where are we going?...

Highway duh.

I know.. He gritted his teeth at her 'obvious'tone. God his anger.

I meant.. We could go to airport atleast.

And how are going to enter the Flight?
We need tickets for them...

And I have connections to get them.
He said in his ASR tone. Smirking at her dumbness

And to make connections you need a communicating device called mobile. She smirked while looking at him through the mirror.

He rolled his eyes at her winning statement while cursing himself for being dumb... That too in front of her.

But he just couldn't sit quite today. Reason?. Unknown.

But if you go by bike then it will take goddamn 8-9 hours to reach Delhi miss.

And who said we are going to delhi by road mister?

Huh?

Haanji Mr. Huh?... We can go to delhi by train..

And will train take you to delhi without tickets?

Nope we don't have to go by train without tickets. I have a cash to afford train tickets.

Oh.. Okay.. I.. I..
Uh why the hell can't HE keep the cash with him. Such irresponsible person he was being today.

Yeah yeah you can return it afterwards.

Haan.

Soon she stopped the bike near railway station and made their way to the counter.

After having the tickets they made their way to the waiting room as they still had lot of time for their train arrival.

Arnav looked at her, who was trying to remember something.

What happened?

I'm trying to remember Papa's phone number..

But didn't he just disown you?
Arnav asked while his eye brow arched above.
